INSEXTS ::Formicophilia:
:Formicophilia:
Sexual pleasure from insects crawling on the body, specifically on the genitals. It is more common in developing countries, perhaps because homes are infested with insects. This could lead to an individual's genitals being exposed to insects (especially if they have outdoor bathrooms, as many developing countries do), and if this happens at a young age when they are sexually developing, they may derive pleasure from it.

The Insect Musicians is an album performed and produced by Graeme Revell. It is a symphony of tsetse fly, death’s-head hawkmoth, bog bush cricket, screech beetle, queen bee laying eggs, and 35 other insect sounds collected from around the world. Revell saw the potential for insects as an auditory art medium : « Perhaps the most fecund territory for future explorations in art and music lies in the miniature; in detailed experiments with nuances of rhythm and timber, detail and colour. And perhaps the ultimate horizon of technology is Nature itself.
Insects, four million years old and consisting of 80% of the world’s species, have affected every culture and life on earth, as much in Asia as anywhere. Back in the Song dynasty (A.D. 960-1278), fashionable men would gather in tea shops, display the caged crickets kept concealed under their robes for warmth, and praise the virtues of their insect ‘musicians’ in conversation and poetry. A prominent part of Chinese and Japanese culture, this vivid and colorful account is the first book in English on this subject. Filled with photos of cages, accessories and historical essays by Berthold Laufer (1927) and Lafcadio Hearn (1898), this incredible title, will make you aware of all the singing (and fighting) crickets engage in.
